GEOGRAPHY
System/Location: Vagen System. There are 12
planets in the Vagen System,
with Vagen III being the only
one classified as Class M. It is
the 3rd planet from the system's
sun.
Distance to Nearest Starbase: 20.1 LY from SB DELTA. This is
approx. 2 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours
and 45 minutes at Warp 6 from the
Starbase.
Planet Classification: Class M
Planet Description: A hot planet that does not hold a
lot of vegetation. Most of the
terrain is soft, dry soil with low
growing trees and bushes popping
up over the landscape. There are
a few rolling hills, but nothing
in the way of mountain ranges.
There is only one ocean that runs
from the north pole all the way
down to 500 miles from the south
pole. There is only one continent.

COLONY INFORMATION
Colony Age (approximate): 320 Years
Population (approximate): 11,000
Species Present: Human
Colony Status: UFP Protectorate-abandoned 2395
Government: Under UFP direction
Major Cities/Settlements: One (New Vancouver)
History: Formed on a temporary basis by a
group of scientists, who set out
to study the nearby systems, the
Vagen III colony grew beyond its
creators expectations. Soon, people
were arriving with the sole
intention of colonizing the planet.
With a warmer climate and very
little rain, those living on the
planet built their homes near the
ocean which consists of fresh water
rather than salt water. Once the
land had been properly irrigated,
little communities were created.
The communities soon merged into
one town called New Vancouver. This
is also the only spaceport on the
planet and where supplies are
brought in. Life flourished here
until 2395.
Although near the planet Vulcan
and under the protection of the
UFP, the colony became discovered
by the Romulans as a possible
military strike base if they ever
were to engage in a war with the
Vulcans and the Federation. When
they began to land forces on the
planet, the colonist protested.
Before the Federation could step
in, the Romulans had destroyed the
colony and New Vancouver leaving
only around 20 percent of the total
population left alive. UFP forces
did arrive shortly and took the
survivors off the planet and
pressured the Romulans to leave
the planet peacefully. Now all that
remains are sensor probes to warn
the Federation of any other
attempts by the Romulans to inhabit
the planet.
Economy: Latinum-based
Tech Level: Semi-modern
